So Interesting: The Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce brings joy to the NFL world as he finally pops the question to Taylor Swift: “Will you marry me?” 😍

A romance that brought sports and music fans together, a celestial beauty that attracted millions of eyes skyward, and a spiritual homecoming for some Native American tribes were just a few of the moments that inspired and made us happy in 2023.

In a year marked by many wars, horrific mass shootings, earthquakes, wildfires, sexual harassment scandals, and other catastrophes, these occurrences were among those that cut through the chaos of 2023 and made people feel hopeful.

That’s how Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce planned to woo superstar Taylor Swift when he went to her Eras Tour concert stop in the Missouri capital. It didn’t work – at first.

But the romantic gesture, and public admission of defeat on his “New Heights” podcast, caught the Grammy Award-winner’s attention. After the power pair took their relationship public – she went to a Chiefs game and sat in a box with Kelce’s mom, to the delight of fans – they began taking the world by storm.

Sportscasters calculated Swift’s effect on Kelce’s game stats and TV viewership, national magazines offered up comprehensive dating timelines, and Swift fans scoured Kelce’s old social media posts to make sure he was fit for their queen.

A celestial splendor that attracted millions of eyes upwards, a spiritual homecoming for some Native American tribes, and a romance that brought together sports and music lovers were just a few of the experiences that delighted and inspired us in 2023.

Amidst the turmoil of 2023, which included numerous conflicts, horrific mass shootings, earthquakes, wildfires, reports of sexual harassment, and other calamities, these incidents were some of the ones that gave people hope.

While pint-sized pairs of trick-or-treaters donned glitzy dresses and Chiefs jerseys this Halloween, Owens transformed her outdoor display into a tribute. The mother of three dressed one 12-foot-tall (3.66-meters-tall) skeleton in a Chiefs jersey, another in a sparkly dress and then stacked three smaller skeletons atop one another to create what she called a “tower of Swifties.”
